HISTORICAL SKETCH 

The object of this Athletic League is to raise a higher 
standard of conduct in athletic sports, to unify the phy- 
sical work of the Associations, and to emphasize the 
regular legitimate class work. In the by-laws will be 
seen a plan for allowing specialization and records in 
alliletics. The aim of these is to throw emphasis upon 
the regular class work of the Associations, as men may 
not be allowed in these competitions until they have 
spent the equivalent of a year's solid practice in regular 
gymnasium class work. On this plan it is believed that 
they will be far more faithful in their regular work, and 
will attain the all-round development of their bodies 
more quickly than they otherwise would ; and after they 
have secured this all-round training they will be in con- 
dition to specialize in some branch of athletics with 
advantage to themselves, thus gaining for the Associa- 
tion an increased esprit de <:^;^j- through the maintenance 
of an athletic team. At the Physical Directors' Confer- 
ence, held May, 1898, it was suggested that the "general" 
registration scheme be optional, and the "games" regis- 
tration be the only one required (sec. 9). The Gov- 
erning Committee adopted this suggestion. 

Particular attention is called to the close and friendly 
relations between this organization and the Amateur Ath- 
letic Union, as outlined on page 38. In the athletic 
rules, those of the A. A. U. have been followed as closely 
as possible, even to the wording. 

In the General Secretaries' Conference held at Orange, 
N. J., in iSSg, there was extended discussion regarding 
the advantages of the formation of an Athletic League 
among the Associations. Upon vote a committee was 
appointed to consider the matter, and, if it seemed w ise. 
to proceed at once with the organization of such a league 
5 



The committee consisted of Messrs, James McConaughy, 
George W. Ehler and George A. Sanford. The commit- 
tee met, hut it hecame evident very soon that the action 
contemplated was beyond the functions of the Secre- 
taries' Conference and belonged to the International Con- 
vention and the International Committee, inasmuch as it 
was of an executive nature. Accordingly the matter was 
referred with a full report to the International Committee, 
who considered it favorably, but decided that the time 
was not then ripe for such a movement, as there had not 
not yet been developed in the Association the kind of 
athletic sports which was germane to the Associations 
and which could well form the basis for such an athletic 
union. But its sub-committee on physical work was in- 
structed to proceed as rapidly as possible with the prep- 
aration of a scheme that might be useful in working out 
this problem. 

The result was a plan of athletics which should build 
men all-round rather than provide competitions in indi- 
vidual events, and a system of marking by which an abso- 
lute and not a relative rank or mark could be given, thus 
giving to athletic games the character of an examination 
rather than of a contest. 

The International Conventions of 1889 and 1891 dis- 
cussed favorably the formation of an Athletic League. 
In 1892 the State Committee of Illinois requested the 
International Committee to take steps in this direction ; 
and the International Convention of 1893 instructed the 
committee to present a working plan to the next con- 
vention. 

The whole matter came up for discussion, at the re- 
quest of the International Committee, at the Physical 
Directors' Conference, held in Springfield, Mass., in 1894, 
when some suggestions were made regarding the charac- 
ter of the organization, and the outline of a possible 
constitution and by-laws was drawn up, with the request 
that the matter be brought to ? i issue as soon as possible. 



as, in the judgment of the conference, the time was ripe 
for such a movement. In the International Conventiom 
held at Springfield, Mass., in May, 1895, the subject 
was again fully discussed and a resolution was adopted, 
without a dissenting voice, commending the efforts of the 
International Committee "to frame an Athletic League 
of the Associations to promote, not the interests of mere 
sport or skill, but the best development of the body, 
because of the relations the body sustains to the man." 

After that time the matter was carried forward as rap- 
idly as possible, and reached its first definite step Octo- 
ber 3, 1S95, in the appointment of a^ committee which, 
under the direction of the International Committee, 
should govern the League. This committee held its first 
meeting on the following day and has since continued 
careful oversight of the League. 



RELIGION AND ATHLETICS 

Luthc7' Gulifk, M. D. 
One of the most interesting things about ])oys soon 
after they are twelve is the character of the athletics in 
which they become interested. They like track and 
field sports, their keenest enthusiasm is reserved for 
base ball, basket ball, foot ball and such games. In the 
United States these games occupy a predominant place 
in the spontaneous interests of many young men. The 
tremendous enthusiasm with which these games are pur- 
sued is shown by the amount of space given to them by 
the papers ; by the great crowds that come out to see 
well contested games ; by the extent of the literature 
springing up about them ; by the amount of money spent 
on grounds, teams, training, etc.; by their steady growth 
in spite of the opposition of a large fraction of the more 
intelligent people of the community. What do these 
games mean? Why are they so interesting? What are 
the qualities developed by these games ? These are all 
team games, that is, games in which team play is more 
important than individual play. Each individual must 
play as hard as he can, but his play is always in relation 
to the plays of others. He plays as a member of the 
team, not as an individual. This is well illustrated in 
base ball, where a man makes a sacrifice hit in order to 
bring in a runner from third base. Every play in foot 
ball illustrates the same thing : from the center, who 
snaps the ball to the quarter-back, who in turn hands it 
to the runner, and then attempts to keep him from being 
tackled by opponents ; interference is formed, and the 
individuals work all together on a preconcerted plan for 
the accomplishment of a given result, which is the ad- 
vancement of the ball. The ability to sacrifice one's 
own interests in the team, or rather the ability to iden- 
tify one's own interests with those of the team, represent 
the basal cpuility out of which team work can be built. 
Men who all the time are insisting upon their individual 



prominence can never do the best work in a team. A 
team of all stars in any game will be defeated, and often 
have been defeated by thoroughly good team work on the 
part of men who are individually inferior to the players 
of the other team. The first quality demanded by team 
work is the sacrifice of self ^and loyalty to the group ; 
the capacity for c j-operalion, reliance upon others, and 
reliability. These are high qualities ; they are qualities, 
if suitably developed, that make the best elements in 
men. Far greater- mental and "moral qualities are de- 
manded by these team games tiian by track and field 
sports or gymnastics. These team games represent that 
self-sacrifice and capacity for co-operation that forms 
the basis of modern civilization, and that in pre-eminent 
degree makes us proud to be Anglo-Saxons. And the 
boy's beginning to enjoy them indicates the spontaneous 
awakening of his instincts in the direction of these 
social virtues. 

It is well known that the direction that instinct takes, 
when first showing itself, is of supreme importance, be- 
cause this usually determines the direction that the habit 
founded on it shall occupy during life. This indicates 
one reason why the clean sport campaign is an important 
one from the religious standpoint. If these games, rep- 
resenting as they do a great impulse of new power and 
life coming to the individual, become allied with honor, 
with gentlemanliness, with courtesy, with lionesty, then 
we have secured on the side of righteousness these spon- 
taneous natural forces. If, on the other side, these 
instincts become associated with dishonesty, Avith dis- 
courtesy, with the resolve to beat at any hazard, we have 
these forces to combat during life. The clean sport 
campaign should be pushed by every Association and 
every individual who believes in the higher life, for it 
strikes at the root of important instincts during the time 
in which they are ripening and acquiring their direction 
for life.

BY-LAWS* 



Section i. Spirit of the League. 

The League endeavors to foster clean sfiort between 
gentlemen. The following statements express the spiiii 
to be sought and maintained in such sport. It is the 
privilege and duty of every committee and person con- 
nected with the League to embody these principles in his 
own actions and to earnestly advocate them before others: 
(i) The rules of games are to b,e regarded as mutual 
agreements, the spirit or letter of which one should no 
sooner try to evade or break than one would any other 
agreement between gentlemen. The stealing of advantage 
in sport is to be regarded in the same way as stealing of 
any other kind. 

(2) Visiting teams are the honored guests of the 
home team, and all their mutual relationships are to be 
governed by the spirit which is understood to guide in 
such relationships. 

(3) No action is to be done nor course of conduct 
pursued which would seem ungentlemanly or dishonorable 
if known to one's opponents or the public. 

(4) No advantages are to be sought over others ex- 
cept those in which the game is understood to show su- 
periority. 

(5) Advantage should not be taken of the laxity of 
officials in interpreting and enforcing rules. 

(6) Officers and opponents are to be regarded and 
treated as honest in intention. When opponents are evi- 
dently not gentlemen, and officers manifestly dishonest or 
incompetent, future relationships with them may be 
avoided. 



(7) Decisions of officials are to be abided by, even 
when they seem unfair. 

(8) Ungentlemanly or unfair means are not to be 
used even when they are used by opponents. 

(9) Good points in others should be appreciated 
and suitable recognition given. 

Sec. 2. Sections. 

The following divisions of the territv^ry of this League 
shall be made, these divisions being known as Sections:

State Committee shall be subject to the approval of the 
Section Committee. 

(3) District Committees. The direction and control 
of League matters in each district within the state may be

the total membership of every committee shall be active 
members of local Associations in its territory. 

(8) All committees shall be appointed for one year, 
or until their successors are appointed. 

(9) Any committee refusing to act, or acting per- 
versely, may, upon the approval of the Governing Com- 
mittee, be discharged by the appointing committee, and a 
new one be appointed to fill out the unexpired term. 

(10) No committee shall be held responsible for the 
financial obligations of any other committee. 

(11) No committee shall incur any expense except

nesses, including the officials, certifying as to the place,

ARTICLES OF ALLIANCE 

BETWEEN THE 

ATHLETIC LEAGUE OF YOUNG MEN'S 

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS OF 

NORTH AMERICA 

AND THE 

AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION. 



Article I. 



At all meetings of the Amateur Athletic Union the Ath- 
letic League of Young Men's Christian Associations shall 
be entitled to representation by not more than four dele- 
gates, or duly elected alternates of such delegates, having 
collectively one vote. 

Article IL 

From among these delegates one shall be chosen to be a 
member of the Board of Governors of the Amateur Ath- 
letic Union, who shall have voice, vote, and privilege 
equal to the other members of said Board upon matters 
coming before it. 

Article III. 

All members of Amateur Athletic Union clubs entering 
Young Men's Christian Association League games shall 
be governed by the rules of the Athletic League of Young 
Men's Christian Associations, but members of Young 
Men's Christian Associations entering any games given 
under the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union shall be 
governed by the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union. 



37 

Article IV. 

No member of any Young Men's Christian Association 
which is enrolled as a member of the Athletic League of 
Young Men's Christian Associations of North America 
shall be allowed to compete for any club in the Amateur 
Athletic Union, provided he has within one year competed 
for such Young Men's Christian Association, except 
the consent of the governing body of such Young Men's 
Christian Association be obtained. 

Article V. 

No member of any Amateur Athletic Union club shall 
be allowed to represent any Young Men's Christian Asso- 
ciation in games of any local branch of the Young Men's 
Christian Association Athletic League, provided he has, 
within one year, competed fbr any Amateur Athletic 
Union club, excepting with the consent of the Board of 
Governors of the Amateur Athletic Union. 

Article VL 

Each party to this alHance shall respect and enforce the 
penalties, suspensions, and disqualifications imposed by 
the other party. 

Article VIL 

Only those local Young Men's Christian Associations 
or branches which are enrolled as bona fide members of 
the Athletic League of Young Men's Christian Associa- 
tions shall be entitled to the privileges and protection of 
this affiliation. 

Article VIII. 

These articles of alliance may be terminated by either 
party upon thirty days' written notice to the other. 

For the Amateur Athletic Union, 

Harry McMillan, President. 



For the Athletic League of fhe Young Men's Christian 
Associations of North America. 

Frederic B. Pratt, 
Chairman of the Governing tovif/iittee. 



Articles I. and II. give the League continuous repre- 
sentation on the Governing Board of the Amateur Ath- 
letic Union and ally it with the best interests of amateur 
sport in the country, and in so far as we have influence 
will enable us to co-operate with them in maintaining 
that high standard of sport which it is our mutual desire 
to secure. 

Article III., as clearly stated in it, provides for mutual 
autonomy. Our own games, whether closed or open, 
shall be held under our own rules exclusively. Con- 
versely, the games of the Amateur Athletic Union are 
exclusively under their own control, and even when our 
own members enter their games they abide entirely by 
their ruling, and not by ours. 

Articles IV. and V. are the most important ones. The 
rules are also those which govern the relations of the 
Amateur Athletic Union Clubs to each other. The rea- 
son for their original adoption was that the strong ath- 
letic clubs could by superior facilities draw away the 
best members from the small clubs and thus render it 
difficult for the smaller clubs to do anything in the line 
of athletics. It was a measure of protection. We now 
take the same position with reference to them that they 
take with reference to each other. It has been claimed 
(hat certain athletic clubs habitually drew their promi- 
nent athletes from our Association, and that it was im- 
possible to hold in the Associations men who excelled 
in any line of athletic sport, even though they had been 
trained by the Associations. This will be largely reme- 
died in the future by the operation of these rules. 



35 

Article VI. This alliance is not between the Young 
Men's Christian Associations and the Amateur Athletic 
Union, but between the Athletic League of the Associa- 
tions and the Amateur Athletic Union. While the 
League will endeavor to render as definite service as 
possible to the entire cause of the Young Men's Christian 
Associations, its immediate effort and benefits must be 
confined chiefly to the Associations that indicate their 
interest by joining it. The door into the League is 
open, and it is hoped that all the Associations which 
have physical work will ally themselves with this gen- 
eral movement. Local associations may, if they wish, 
join both organizations. 

Article VIL Men who are suspended by the Ama- 
teur Athletic Union are ipso facto suspended during the 
same period from our own games ; and, similarly, men 
whom for any reason we suspend from competition 
in our games are suspended for the same period for all 
games of the Union. Thus we stand in a position of 
mutual co-operation and helpfulness with reference to 
the necessary discipline of our own athletic sports. 

Article VIIL In case of difficulty between the two 
parties, this article gives o}iportuiiity for withdrawal or 
alteration, without which it ^\■ould be hardly possible 
for either party to go into the arrangement. 



ATHLETIC RULES 

OF THE 

ATHLETIC LEAGUE OF THE YOUNG MEN'S 

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS OF 

NORTH AMERICA. 



Rule I. Officials. 

All athletic meets, excepting those under Pentathlon 
rules, shall be under the direction of a — 

Committee, 

One referee, 

One or more inspectors, 

Three judges at finish, 

Three or more field judges. 

Three or more timekeepers. 

One starter. 

One clerk of the course, 

One scorer, 

One marshal, 

One official announcer. 
If deemed necessary, assistants may be provided for the 
scorer, marshal, and clerk of the course. 

Rule II. The Games Committee. 

All athletic games must be under the immediate direc- 
tion of a committee of this League, or of one of the Asso- 
ciations in this League. 

This committee shall have jurisdiction over all matters 
not assigned by these rules to the officials. 

They shall make arrangements for the games, grounds, 
officials, expenses, advertising, etc. 



41 



Rule III. The Referee. 

The referee shall decide all questions relating to the 
actual conduct of the meeting whose final settlement is 
not otherwise covered by these rules. 

He alone shall have the power to change the order of 
events as laid down in the official program, and to add 
to or to alter the announced arrangement of heats in any 
event. A referee has no authority, after heats have been 
duly drawn and published in a programme, to transfer a 
contestant from one heat to another. 

When in any but the final heat of a race a claim of 
foul or interference is made, he shall have the power to 
disqualify the competitor who was at fault, if he con- 
siders the foul intentional or due to culpable carelessness, 
and shall also have the power to allow the hindered com- 
petitor to start in the next round of heats just as if he 
had been placed in his trial. 

When in a final heat a claim of foul or interference is 
made, he shall have the power to disqualify the competitor 
who was at fault, if he considers the foul intentional or 
due to culpable carelessness, and he shall also have the 
power to order a new race between such of the com- 
petitors as he thinks entitled to such a privilege. 

If, during any athletic contest, a competitor conduct 
himself in a manner unbecoming a gentleman, or offensive 
to the officials, spectators, or competitors, the referee 
shall have the power to disqualify him from further 
competition at the meeting; and if he thinks the offense 
worthy of additional punishment, shall promptly make a 
detailed statement of the facts to the Governing Commit- 
tee. 

Rule IV. The Inspectors. 

It shall be the duty of an inspector to stand at such 
point as the referee may designate; to watch the competi- 
tion closely, and in case of a claim of foul to report to the 
referee what hesaw of the incident. 



42 

Such inspectors are merely assistants to the referee, to 
whom they shall report, and have no power to make any 
decisions. 

Rule V. The Judges at Finish 

shall determine the order of finishing of contestants^ and 
shall arrange among themselves as to noting the winner, 
second, third, fourth, etc., as the case may require. 

Their decision in this respect shall be without appeal, 
and in case of disagreement a majority shall govern. 

Rule VI. The Field Judges 

shall make an accurate measurement, and keep a tally of 
all competitors in the high and broad jumps, the pole 
vault, and the weight competitions. 

They shall act as judges of these; events, and their de- 
cision shall likewise be without appeal. In case of dis- 
agreement a majority shall govern. 

Rule VII. The Timekeepers 

shall be three in number. They shall individually time 
all events where time record is required, and determine 
among themselves and announce the official time of each 
heat or race.

and the third disagree, the time marked by the two 
watches shall be accepted. Should all three disagree, the 
time marked by the intermediate watch shall be accepted. 

T\iQ. flash of the pistol shall denote the actual time of 
starting. If, for any reason, only two watches record the 
time of an event, and they fail to agree, the longer time 
of the two shall be accepted. 

Note. — For record, however, the event must be timed 
by three watches. wSee by-laws, section 13, paragraph 4.

Rule VIII. The Starter 
shall have sole jurisdiction over the competitors after the 
clerk of the course has properly placed them in their

starter as follows : 

In all races up to and including 125 yards, the com-

cases the third false start shall disqualify the offender 
from that event. 

The starter shall also rule out of that event any com- 
petitor who attempts to advance himself from his mark, 
as prescribed in the official program, after the clerk of 
the course has assigned him his place. 

Rule IX. The Clerk of the Course 
shall be provided with the names and the numbers of all 
entered competitors, and shall notify them to appear at

After turning the last corner into the straight in any race, 
each competitor must keep a straight course to the finish 
line, and not cross, either to the outside or the inside, in 
front of any of his opponents. 

In all championship races, at any distance under and

placed a tape attached at either end to the finishing posts. 
A finish shall be counted when any part of the winner's 
body, except his hands or arms, shall touch the tape at 
the finish line. The tape is to be considered the finishing 
line for the winner, but the order of finishing across the 
track line shall determine the positions of the other com- 
petitors. 

Rule XVII. Hurdles. 

In the 120 yards hurdle race ten hurdles shall be used, 
each hurdle being three feet six inches high. They shall

Rule XVIII. Ties. 

in all contests whose results are determined by measure- 
ment of height or distance, ties shall be decided as fol- 
lows : 

In handicap contests the award shall be given to the 
competitor Avho received the least allowance. In case of 
a tie between two or more competitors who received the 
same allowance, the decision shall be made as in scraLch 
contests. 

In case of a tie in a scratch contest at high jumping or 
vaulting, the tieing competitors shall have three additional 
trials at the height last tried, and, if still undecided, the 
bar shall be lowered to the height next below, and three 
trials taken at that height. If no one clears it, the bar 
shall be lowered again and again until one of the com- 
petitors clears it. In case of a second tie, the award shall 
be given to the competitor who cleared the bar with the 
least number of trials. 

In case of a tie in a scratch contest at any game de- 
cided by distance, each of the tieing competitors shall 
have three additional trials, and the award shall be made 
in accordance with the distances cleared in these additional 
trials. In case of a second tie three more trials shall be 
allowed, and so on, until a decision is reached. In case 
of a dead heat in any track events, the competitors shall 
not be allowed to divide the prize or points, or to toss for 
them, but must compete again at a time and place ap- 
pointed by the referee. 

Rule XIX. Order of Competition. 

In all scratch events the competitors shall take their trials 
in the order of their names as printed in the program. 

In all handicap events the competitor having the great- 
est allowance shall make the first trial, and so on, in reg- 
ular order, up to the competitor at scratch or with least 
allowance, who shall have the last trial. 



RULE XX. Jumping. 

Section i. A fair jump shall be one that is made 
without the assistance of weights, diving, somersaults or 
handsprings of any kind. 

Sec. 2. The Running High Jump. The stick shall 
be started as nearly as possible to three feet six inches 
from the ground, and shall be raised thereafter two 
inches at a time. Displacing the bar is a failure. Each 
contestant shall be allowed but ten jumps. No contes- 
tant shall be allowed more than three jumps at any 
height. Having attempted to jump any height it must 
be cleared before another height can be attempted. In 
case it is not cleared in three trials the competitor for- 
feits the right to the remainder of his jumps. Contes- 
tants shall jump in regiilar order, as called for by the 
judge. A contestant may omit his jump at any height, 
but cannot in any case try a height after once having 
passed it. The jump shall be made over a square bar. 
Two balks shall count as one failure, and thus be one of 
the ten jumps called for. It is a balk if the contestant 
crosses a line six feet from and parallel with the standards. 
The jump shall be made over a bar resting on pins pro- 
jecting not more than three inches from the uprights. 
When this bar is removed from the pins it shall be 
counted as a failure. 

Sec. 3. The Standing High J 11 fnp. The feet of the 
competitor maybe placed in any position, but shall leave 
the ground only once in making an attempt to jump. 
When the feet are lifted from the ground twice, or two 
springs are made in making the attempt, it shall count as 
a trial jump without result. A competitor may rock for- 
ward and back, lifting heels and toes alternately from the 
ground, but may not lift either foot clear from the ground 
or slide it along the ground in any direction. The bar 
shall be started at two feet nine inches, and shall be 
raised thereafter one inch at a time. With these excep- 
tions the rules governing the Running High Jump shall 
also govern the Standing High Jump. 

Sec. 4. The Running Broad Jump. When jumped 
on earth a joist five inches wide shall be sunk flush with 
it. The outer edge of this joist shall be called the scratch 



49 

line, and the measurement of all jumps shall be made 
from it at right angles to the nearest break in the ground 
made by any part of the person of the competitor. In 
front of the scratch line the ground shall be removed to 
the depth of three and the width of twelve inches outward. 
A foul jump shall be one where the competitor in jump- 
ing off the scratch line makes a mark on the ground im- 
mediately in front of it, or runs over the line without 
jumping, and shall count as a trial jump without result. 
Each competitor shall have three trial jumps, and the 
best three shall each have three more trial jumps. The 
competition shall be decided by the best of all the trial 
jumps of the competitors. The distance of the run be- 
fore the scratch line shall be unlimited. 

Sec. 5. The Pole Vault. Poles shall be furnished by 
the club giving the games, but contestants may use their 
private poles if they so desire, and no contestant shall be 
allowed to use any of these private poles except by the 
consent of its owner. The poles shall be unlimited as to 
size and weight, but shall have no assisting devices, except 
that they may be wound or wrapped with any substance 
for the purpose of affording a firmer grasp, and may have 
one prong at the lower end. *No competitor shall during 
his vault raise the hand which was uppermost when he 
left the ground to a higher point of the pole, nor shall he 
raise the hand which was undermost when he left the 
ground to any point on the pole above the other hand. 
Any competitor who uses a pole without a spike shall be 
allowed to dig a hole not more than one foot in diameter 
at the take-off in which to plant his pole. The stick shall 
be started at six feet, and shall be raised thereafter four 
inches each time. In Dole vaulting indoors the run shall 
be limited to thirty-one feet. With these additions, the 
rules governing the Running High Jump shall also govern 
the Pole Vault for height, and the rules governing the 



50 

Running Broad Jump shall also govern the Pole Vault 
for distance, if outdoor, but if indoor the run shall be 
limited to 31 feet. 

Sec. 6. The Standing Broad Jump. The feet of the 
competitor may be placed in any position, but shall leave 
the ground only once in making an attempt to jump; 
When the feet are lifted from the ground twice, or tvv^o 
springs are made in making the attempt, it shall count as 
a trial jump without result. A competitor may rock for- 
ward and back, lifting heels and toes alternately from the 
ground, but may not lift either foot clear of the ground^ 
or slide it along the ground in any direction. In all othet 
respects the rule governing the Running Broad Jump 
shall also govern the Standing Broad Jump. 

Sec. 7. The Three Standing Broad Jumps. The feet 
of the competitor shall leave the ground only once in 
making an attempt for each of the three jumps, and no 
stoppage between jumps shall be allowed. In all other 
respects the rules governing the Standing Broad Jump 
shall also govern the Three Standing Broad Jumps. 

Sec. 8. The Two Standing Broad Juf?ips. The rules 
as outlined for three jumps shall govern, except that the 
individual shall take but two jumps. 

Sec. 9. Standijig Hop, Step, and Jump. The contest- 
ant shall stand upon one foot ; shall spring therefrom, 
alighting upon the same. He shall then take a step and 
then a jump. With this exception, the rule for the Three 
Broad Jumps shall apply. 

Sec. fo. Running Hop, Step, and Jump. The competi- 
tor shall first land upon the same foot with which he 
shall have taken off. The reverse foot shall be used for 
the second landing, and both feet shall be used for the 
third landing. In all other respects the rules governing 
the Running Broad Jump shall also govern the Running 
Hop, Step, and Jump. 

Sec. II. Running High Dive. The contestant shall 



5r 

spring from the floor, pass iiead foremost over the stick, 
lie may land on the floor or mat, or be caught by an 
assistant. 

Sec. 12. Rtinni)ig High Jiii7ip from Springboard. The 
highest point of the springboard shall not be more than 
twenty inches from the floor. In all other respects the 
rules governing the Running High Jump shall count. 

Sec. 13. Riuiiiing High Dive from Springboard. With 
the springboard as specified under Running High Jump 
from springboard. In other respects the rules for the 
Running High Dive shall apply. 

Sec. 14. Running Long Dive. The contestant, in 
alighting, shall strike his hands first, and shall then do 
a forward roll. In all other respects the rules for the 
Running Broad Jump shall apply. 

Rule XXI. Putting the Shot. 

The shot shall be a solid sphere, made of metal. 

It shall be put with one hand, and in making the at- 
tempt it shall be above and not behind the shoulder. 

The competitor shall stand in a circle seven feet in 
diameter, and this circle shall be divided into two halves 
by a line drawn through its centre. In the middle of the 
circumference of the front half shall be placed a stop- 
board four feet long, four inches high, and firmly fastened 
to the ground. In making his puts, the feet of the com- 
petitor may rest against but not on the top of this board. 

A fair put shall be one in which no part of the person 
of the competitor touches the top of the stop-board or 
the ground outside the circle, and the competitor leaves 
the circle by its rear half. A put shall be foul if any part 
of the person of the competitor touch the ground outside 
the front half of the circle before the put is measured. 

The measurement of each put shall be from the nearest 
mark made by the fall of the shot to the circumference 
of the circle on a line from the mark made by the shot to 
the centre of the circle. 



52 

Foul puts and letting go the shot in making an attempt 
shall be counted as trial puts without result. 

A board similar to the one in front may be used at the 
back of the circle. 

The number of trials and methods of decision shall be 
the same as for the Running Broad Jump. Shots shall 
be furnished by the games committee. Any contestant 
may use his private shot, if correct in weight and shape, 
in which case the other contestants must also be allowed 
to use it if they wish.

diameter, and this circle shall be divided into two halves 
by a line drawn through its centre. 

A fair throw shall be one in which no part of the per- 
son of the competitor touches the ground outside the 
circle, and the competitor leaves the circle by its rear half. 
A throw shall be foul if any part of the person of the 
competitor touch the ground outside the front half of 
the circle before the throw is measured. 

Foul throws and letting go of the hammer in an at- 
tempt shall count as trial throws. 

The measurement of each throw shall be from the 
nearest mark made by the fall of the head of the hammer 
to the circumference of the circle, on a line from the mark 
made by the head of the hammer to the centre of the 
circle. 

The number of trials and methods of decision shall be 
the same as in the Running Broad Jump. 



53 



Hammers shall be furnished by the games committee.

the judge use two pistols, one with each hand. There 
shall be an assistant for each man in the heat. It shall

The line 1-2 is the finish. 

The lines a-b, c-d, e-f, g-h form the lanes in which the 
contestants are to run. 

The line 3-4 is drawn three feet from the line 1-2 ; the 
lines 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 are drawn at regular intervals of six 
feet. 

Each contestant shall have as many fifths of a second 
added to the score of the leading man as there are trans- 
verse lines between them when the finish pistol is fired. 
When a man is on a line it is to count as one-half a fifth, 
equivalent to five points. If a man were on the line 5-6 
when the pistol was fired, and the time given was eleven 
seconds, there is one line between the two men ; this adds 



58 

one-fifth second ; being on the line adds one-tenth more, 
making eleven and three-tenths seconds. If he had been 
just behind this line the score would have been eleven 
and two-fifths seconds, or if just in front, eleven and one- 
fifth seconds. 

Sec. 9. Timer's. Not less than three watches shall be 
held on the leading man in each heat. 

Sec. id. The Scor-er shall keep a complete list of com- 
petitors and credit each man with his performance, as 
reported to him by the judges or timers of that event. 
He shall also reduce the records of the performance in 
the different events by each individual to the standard 
table, and shall record the number of points made in 
each event by each man. A man passing the upper limit 
in any event shall be credited proportionately. No mark 
less than zero shall be given, even in case the record falls 
below the measure indicated for zero. 

Sec. II. T/ie Reporter shdiW keep upon a blackboard, 
suitably prepared, the number of points made by each 
man; shall make announcements to the spectators, and, 
as far as possible, keep them intelligently informed of the 
contest and its progress. 

Sec. 12. The Marshal shall have full police charge, 
and see that spectators are kept in the place assigned to 
them. 

IV. Records. 

Records shall be accepted only for the five stated 
events. Any may be omitted, however, the contestant 
receiving zero in each such event. 

V. Numbers. 

Each competitor shall receive from the clerk of the 
course, and shall fasten upon his person in a conspicuous 
place, a number by which he shall be known in that 
competition. 



59 

VI. Running. 

In races on straight tracks competitors shall keep their 
own positions on the track from start to finish. 

VII. Running High Jump and Pole Vaulting. 

The stick shall be started as nearly as possible to three 
feet and six inches from the ground in the high jump and 
five feet and ten inches in the pole vault. It shall be 
raised thereafter two inches at a time in the high jump 
and four inches in the pole vault. Displacing the bar is 
a failure. Each contestant shall be allowed but ten 
jumps, and not more than three jumps at anyone height. 
Every height attempted must be cleared before anothei* 
can be tried. The best one shall be counted. Contes- 
tants shall jump in regular order, as called for by the 
judge. A contestant may omit his jump at any height, 
but he cannot in any case try a height after once having 
"passed" it. The jump shall be made over a square 
bar. Two balks shall count as one failure, and thus be 
one of the ten jumps called for. It is a balk if the con- 
testant crosses a line six feet from and parallel with the 
standards. The " dive " is not allowed. There shall be 
one set of jump standards for every ten contestants. The 
pole vault standards may have any support in which to 
stick the pole. It must, however, be no higher than the 
surface of the ground. Private poles may l)e used, but 
only by owners or with their permission. 

VIII. Throwing the Hammer. 

The hammer shall not be more than four feet in length, 
and shall weigh not less than twelve pounds. Fulfilling 
these conditions, it may be of any size, shape or ma- 
terial. The hammer shall be thrown from a circle having 
a radius of three and one-half feet. But three attempts 
shall be allowed. An attempt is as follows : When the 



6o 



competitor takes his place inside the circle with the ham- 
mer, then lets go of the hammer and the head strikes 
outside of this circle, it is a try. The distance shall be 
measured from the nearest break in the ground caused 
by the hammer head to the nearest point in the circum- 
ference of the circle. A foul shall count as an attempt, 
but shall not be measured. A foul is as follows: When 
a contestant has thrown the hammer, and any portion of 
his person touches the ground outside the line of the 
half circle in the direction of the throw before the dis- 
tance has been measured. No " turn " is allowed. Private 
hammers may be used, but only by the owners or with 
their permission. 

IX. Rank. 

Every contestant scoring a total of two hundred points 
or over shall be entitled to bronze or third grade, with 
medal having bronze bar and silver pendant. Three hun- 
dred points constitute the lower limit of the silver or 
second grade, with medal having silver bar and pendant, 
and also official certificate. Four hundred points entitle 
contestant to gold, or first grade, with medal having gold 
bar and silver pendant, and also official certificate. 

X. Order. 

The events shall begin with the dash and end with the 
mile run. The high jump and hammer throw shall pre- 
cede the pole vault. 

XL Registration and Sanction. 
On the official Pentathlon, where men from one or 
more Young Men's Christian Associations compete, 
registration is not required. If open to others, registra- 
tion is required. Sanction in both instances is necessary. 

XII. Further Arrangements. 
Further arrangements shall be made by the referee.

THE INDOOR TEST. 

/. H. Mc Curdy, iM. D. 

I shall describe what it seems to me is the simplest 
way to organize graded work, and run an Indoor Test. 

The first essential of graded work must be the grading 
of the men; the second essential is the grading of the 
exercises ; the third essential is the placing before the 
men some examination or test which shall show from 
time to time their proficiency and encourage their im- 
provement in vital strength and skill. 

Many directors hesitate to take up graded work be- 
cause of the imagined difficulties. They believe it 
necessary to start out with a complete scheme of grading 
at the beginning. It is entirely unnecessary and unwise 
to start a complex scheme at first. Meet the demands 
in your own fields as they occur ; e. g., if ten of the bet- 
ter gymnasts feel the need of instruction in apparatus 
work, place them in a squad by themselves and give 
them the grade of work adapted to their needs. 

The Indoor Test has' retained its simplicity and elas- 
ticity that it might be feasible for gymnasiums of medium 
size and moderate equipment. Only the most common 
pieces of apparatus were selected ; no drills or exercises 
were authorized or adopted in the rules. All these mat- 
ters were left to the individual director or committee. 
The following suggestions have been helpful in many an 
Indoor Test : 

I. Realize at the start that some men come for the 
improvements in vital strength, not caring to go forward 
into graded exercises, e. g., business men ; arrange to 
give them large variety in elementary calisthenics and 
simple recreative games adapted for goodly numbers. 
75 



76 

2. Remember that in the broad sense all hygienic ex- 
ercises are educational, and that all educational exer- 
cises shotild be hygienic for those attempting those par- 
ticular exercises. 

' 3. Place the principal types of exercise in the order 
of their importance. The hygienic and recreative are 
of first importance, the educational and competitive are 
of second importance. Educational gymnastics must be 
taught our young men and boys if they are to have 
skilled bodies, combined with courage in handling them. 
The muscular co-ordinations learned during young man- 
hood viall give zest to exercise during all their lives. 
Educational gymnastics, however, are no fad. They 
should be based on a solid foundation of hygienic and 
recreative work. 

4. Arrange your indoor instruction year into two or 
three terms, with examinations at the end of each term. 

5. Begin with the class wanting graded exercises, e.g., 
the evening class, organizing as the demand becomes 
definite and intelligent. 

6. Give all the men at the end of the first term an 
examination in the hygienic or elementary work. If 
some of these men are all ready for an intermediate, give 
that to them on some succeeding evening. 

7. Enthuse air members with the importance and 
pleasure derived from graded work, arranging to have 
the best eight men in each grade recognized as the team 
champions in that grade for that year. 

8. Furnish good leaders for- each grade, so the i.ien in 
lower grades may have something to look forward to. 

9. Have at least one trained judge for each four con- 
testants. These men may, after the first year, be in your 
own leaders' corps. 

10. Align the men according to height, then number, 
and require them to retain the same order throughout 
•all exercises. 

11. In iiinrcjiiiig, calisthenics, and apparatus exer- 



77 

cises, have the judgment of two men on each man. This 
may be accomplished with the first two by placing two 
judges over two fours, and averaging their judgment. 

12. Have one inan, either the referee or director, order 
all changes. 

13. Have all men at work all the time. This will 
necessitate, as above, at least one judge for each four 
men. 

14. Have judges of marching and calisthenics also act 
on the apparatus work. 

15. Have not more than eight men in each squad on 
the apparatus. Arrange for double sets of apparatus as 
far as needed. 

16. Examine the men on the work taught in regular 
class, and on nothing else. Your graded work should 
be an integral part of your class work. 

17. Have at least three sets of stands for the potato 
race. 

1 8. The entire Elementary Test should occupy less 
than an hour and three-quarters for 24 men, with a single 
set of heavy apparatus, or 48 men with a double set of 
heavy apparatus. 

Advantages of Indoor Test. 

1. It stimulates regular class work. 

2. It requires no special preparation outside class 
hours from the men. 

3. It retains old members because they have something 
to look forward to. 

4. It creates loyalty to the organization, because of the 
grade contests between Associations. 

5. It offers legitimate opportunity for advertisement of 
regular class work by the International Committee's dip- 
lomas and the class shields which are given. 



HOW TO CONDUCT AN INDOOR TEST 

George T. Hepbron. 
This article is based on Dr. J. H. McCurdy's indoor 
test score cards, published by the International Commit- 
tee of the Young Men's Christian Association. 

1. Li)ie lip the men and give each man a number, 
beginning with the tallest. 

2. Make a list of the men's numbers with their names 
attached, wTiile they stand in line. 

3. Prepare score cards to be used during the free work 
and calisthenics, apportioning to each judge four men to 
work, using only the men's numbers ; the list with l)oth 
names and numbers to be used only as a key in complet- 
ing the final score. 

4. Face the men and march them to their respective 
positions for the free work and calisthenics. Have them 
secure the apparatus to be used, during the march. 

5. During the march place the judges on both sides of 
the room so they can command an unobstructed view of 
the four men they are to judge. 

6. After the free 7vork proceed at once with the calis- 
thenics, the men remaining in the same positions as dur- 
ing the free work. 

7. During the free work and calisthenics the clerks 
should make out the cards, two cards exactly alike for 
each piece of apparatus, dividing the men into as many 
squads as there is apparatus to be used, each man to be 
known by his number only. 

8. After the calisthenics the judges give the cards to 
the clerks and receive the ones they are to use on the 
apparatus ; while this is going on march the men back to 
their original positions inline and ascertain if every man 
is in his proper place according to number. 

78 



g. During A^o. 8 have the apparatus placed in position 
and the judges at their posts with score cards properly 
filled out. A cross mark over the piece of apparatus 
they are to judge will save time and confusion. Divide 
the men into the squads indicated on the judges' cards, 
and march them to their respective pieces of apparatus. 

10. Each contestant will follow in turn as his number 
is called by one of the judges on his piece of apparatus. 

11. The judges remain at the same piece of apparatus 
throughout the test. This gives the contestants the ben- 
efit of the varied judgment of all. instead of being at the 
mercy of one set of three men. 

12. As the men change to the next piece of apparatus 
the judges return their cards to the clerks and secure 
others. 

13. At the close of the gymnastic events and the return 
of the cards, line the men up as at first and divide them 
into as many squads as there are duplicate athletic appa- 
ratus. The cards for this having been prepared during 
the gymnastic work. 

14. Have the cards for the athletic events all ready, so 
that at the conclusion of the apparatus work the athletic 
may be started without delay. 

15. Dtcring the first athletic event the clerks prepare 
the final score in the apparatus work, using the key 
shown on page 86. This score should be completed by 
the time the first athletic event is finished, and so with 
the score of each athletic event, so that when the test is 
ended only one event remains to be computed. 

16. After the final score is ready place same in con- 
spicuous place so the men may see the result as they pass 
out of the building. This final score should have both 
the names and numbers attached, signed by the clerks. 

17. TJiis test has been run off successfully with forty 
men on the same evening, with only one piece of appa- 
ratus for each event except the potato race, where two 
men ran at one time using two sets of boxes. 



8o 

JUDGES. 

It is difficult at times to secure judges from other as- 
sociations ; in tliis case the local leaders' corps may be 
used. If no leaders' corps exists select men in the Asso- 
ciation who have some knowledge of gymnastics and 
train them for the duties. 

SCORING. 

The prevalent plan of scoring is to make mental calcu- 
lation during the trial and then put in the proper square 
the score you think the man deserves. 

TEST EXERCISES. 

The test exercises may he selected as follows : 

(i) Select ten exercises that contain the different 

aims sought in the grade to be examined ; post them 

in the gymnasium, say thirty days before the date set 

for the test ; on the day of the test select the three 

exercises to be used. 

(2) Select three exercises for each piece of apparatus 

from the exercises that have been used in the regular 

class work of that grade. 

The men to see them for the first time when they 

are set by the leader, on the evening of the test. 

Tlie advantage of the former plan is that every man 
entered has an opportunity to practice the ten exercises 
from which the three test ones are to be selected. 

The advantage of the latter plan is that the men who 
attended the class work regularly stand the best chance 
of passing the test l)ecause they have been more regular 
in attendance. This puts a premium on regular attend- 
ance at the classes. 

FREQUENCY OF TESTS. 

Tests are held at varying intervals. A preliminary 
test could, with profit, be held every two months, so that 
the ever increasing membership might l)e kept interested 
and placed in their proper grades. 



8i 

The regular grade examinations for promotion to the 
next grade should only be held annually ; however, this 
does not prevent tests being held oftener to pass men 
from squad to squad in the same grade. 

These squad examinations are very valuable in sus- 
taining the interest and working up enthusiasm for the 
annual grade test ; they also cater to that healthy desire 
of men to advance in the activities of not only the gym- 
nasium but all walks of life. 

The graded system puts the gymnasium work on a 
basis that appeals to the business and educational men 
in the local community, and can only result in good 
when properly conducted. 

Score cards and certificates for this test may be secured 
from the International Committee, 3 West Twenty-ninth 
Street, New York. 



REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON INDOOR TEST 

At Physical Direchns' Conference, l8g8.* 

The Committee recommends that in — 

Rule I, Events — "Marching" be substituted for 
♦' free exercises." 

Rule II. Grades — That the following be added : 
(The following arrangement of five grades is recom- 
mended to Associations desiring to hold examinations 
on the five-grade system : The Elementary Grade to be 
divided into fifth and fourth grades ; Intermediate into 
third and second grades, and the Advanced the first 
grade ; the fifth and fourth grades to include the first 
six events ; the third the first seven ; the second the first 
eight, and the first grade all the events.) 

Rule III. Order — The first clause in this rufe to be 
amended so as to read as folloM^s : " The order in each 
grade shall be — first, marching ; second, calisthenics ; 
third, apparatus exercises ; fourth, athletics, of which 
the potato race shall be the last, and all events must be 
conducted on the same day." 

Rule VII, Judges of Gymnastics — Judges on march- 
ing, calisthenics and apparatus exercises shall judge in- 
dependently. They shall report to the scorer each con- 
testant's ability in each of these events, reporting for 
each exercise in the exercises upon the apparatus. Their 
method shall be as follows : 

[a) Marching shall be marked on a basis of ten points, 
equal consideration being given to form and correctness. 

(7^) Calisthenics shall be marked on a basis of ten 
points, giving four for correctness and six for form. 

(f) Each exercise upon the apparatus shall be marked 
on a basis of ten points, giving one for correct approach, 
two for doing the exercise called for, five for form in 
that exercise in proportion to the amount of the exercise 
done correctly, and two for retreat. The approach shall 

* This report is given here in order to promote further discussion 
of the subject before final action is taken. The changes suggested 
are so important as to be worthy of a far wider consideration than 
could be given to them at any one physical directors' conference. 

For comparison see pages 88 to 9S 
82 



83 

be from a mark previously indicated in front of the ap- 
paratus to the time the hands touch the apparatus. 
Retreat shall be from the time the feet strike the floor 
until the position of attention is secured. 

(Note. — When, because of an accident to the con- 
testant in the performance of an exercise, the judges 
deem a second trial desirable, they may grant it, but 
shall then mark the exercise on a basis of a maximum of 
seven points. In case of an accident to tlie apparatus, a 
second trial shall be permitted without prejudice to the 
contestant.) 

Rule X. Scorer — Add the following after the first 
sentence : " He shall reduce the judges' reports in each 
event to the basis of ten points, carrying his operations 
to two decimal places at least." 

Rule XIII. Records — The maximum in each event 
in this contest shall be ten points. Each contestant's 
total number of points in the Elementary Grade shall be 
divided by the decimal .6 ; in the Intermediate Grade, 
by .8 ; in the Advanced the total number of points sliall 
be taken without division. In using the five-grade sys- 
tem in the fifth and fourth grades, divide each contest- 
ant's total by .6 ; in the third grade by .7 ; in the 
second grade by .8, no division being necessary in the 
first grade. 

(This will reduce each grade to the percentage basis.) 

Rule XIV. Marching — Exercises in marching shall 
occupy not less than ten nor more than fifteen minutes, 
judging being done by the measurers and judges. Con- 
testants shall drill in line according to number. 

Rule XV. Calisthenics — The calisthenic exercises 
shall occupy not less than ten nor more than fifteen min- 
utes, the judging being done by the measurers and 
judges. Contestants should be so arranged as to reduce 
to a minimum any advantage of position or distance from 
the leader. 

Rule XIX. Pole Vaulting and High Jumping. 



84 

(Note. — Through some oversight, the Committee took 
no action on this section so as to accommodate the first 
sentence to the revised method of scoring. I would 
recommend that the Governing Committee omit this first 
sentence altogether, there being no object in it, as the 
high jump does not come into the Elementary Grade, 
and the pole vaulting is exclusively in the Advanced 
Grade. 

I would also recommend that a statement in regard to 
selection and arrangement of exercises in Rules XIV. 
and XV. should also be made.) 

No action was taken upon Section XX., but it would 
seem to me to simplify matters very materially if the 
word " points " should be changed to "percent.," as 
they have distinct meanings in the previous rules and 
the present statement leads to considerable confusion. 

In Rule XVII. a statement should be added as to 
what should be done in case a runner accidentally dis- 
places one .of the boxes and spills potatoes, which often 
happens ; also in case he drops a potato and somebody 
picks it up and hands it to him. 

Scoring Table. — The Committee recommends that 
the high jump shall conform to the scoring for the jump 
in the outdoor Pentathlon, that is, that three feet six 
inches shall be the zero point instead of three feet one 
inch, and that in the potato race two minutes four sec- 
onds be the zero point, and one minute forty seconds the 
maximum. 

The Committee also recommend that an explanatory 
section ])e added which shall give information to judges 
as to the best method of performing their duties.

INDOOR TEST PER CENTS. 

A. T. Ha Is ted, M. D. 

One essential point in tlie best management of an 
indoor test is the ability to give the men their standing 
before they leave the building. To this end the scorer 
should gather up the figures from the judges as soon as 
the events are run off, convert these figures into points 
according to the scoring talkie, and be prepared to show 
total points for each man as soon as the last event is 
completed a,nd scores received. But there remains one 
other step, the conversion of total points into percentage 
standing, as the passing of the tests depends upon the 
securing of 65, 70 or 75 per cent., according as the test 
is elementary, intermediate or advanced. 

As the total number of points possible in the elemen- 
tary test is 180, and in the intermediate 240, the total a 
man secures in the former is reduced to a percentage 
standing by dividing by 1.8 and in the latter case by 
2.4. To save delay caused by such reckoning, the fol- 
lowing tables are given ; they are carried but a little 
below 50 per cent., as it seemed useless to convert a 
lower standing.

ALL-ROUND INDOOR TEST— RULES AND 
SCORING TABLE. 



/. H. Mc Curdy, M.D. 



\. Events. 

The events shall be: (i) marching, (2) calisthenics, 
(3) parallel bars, (4) side horse, (5) horizontal bar (high 
or low), (6) one-quarter mile potato race, (7) three stand- 
ing broad jumps, (8) running high jump, {9) long horse, 
(10) pole vault for height. 

II. Grades. 

The contest shall have the following grades : Elemen- 
tary, intermediate, and advanced. The elementary grade 
shall consist of the first six events, the intermediate of 
the first eight events, and the advanced of the whole ten 
events. 

III. Order. 

The order in each grade shall be: (i) marching, (2) cal- 
isthenics, (3) apparatus work, (4) athletic work. In the 
apparatus and athletic work the clerk of the course shall 
divide the contestants into as many divisions as apparatus 
and floor space will allow. No contestant shall on any 
condition be allowed to change his division. 

IV. Officers. 

All meetings shall be under the direction of one referee, 
six measurers, six judges of apparatus work, three timers, 
one starter, one scorer, one marshal, and one clerk of the 
course. The measurers and judges of apparatus work 



89 

shall also act as judges in the marching and calisthenics. 
V. Referee. 

The referee shall have general charge of all officers, 
contestants, and games. When appealed to, he shall 
decide all questions of dispute not otherwise covered in 
these rules. His decision shall be final. He shall also 
select the exercises as directed in section i6. 

VI. Measurers. 

The measurers shall be judges for the broad jump, the 
high jump, and the pole vault. They shall also act as 
judges on the marching and calisthenics. They shall re- 
port each contestant's best record to the scorer. 

vn. Judges of Apparatus Work. 

The judges on each piece of apparatus shall judge in- 
dependently. They shall report to the scorer each con- 
testant's ability in each exercise in that special event. 
Their method shall be as-follows : Two points for correct 
approach to the apparatus, two points for doing the exer- 
cise called for, four points for form in that exercise, and 
two points for leaving the apparatus correctly. 

Note. — When whole numbers do not express contest- 
ant's ability, decimals may be used. 

VIII. Timers. 

One watch shall be held on each runner. The watch 
shall be started at the flash of the pistol. The timers 
shall report to the scorer each contestant's time at the 
close of that event. 

IX. Starter. 

The starter shall have entire control of the com- 
petitors at their marks. The penalties for false starting 



90 



shall be as follows : The competitor shall be put back 
one yard for the first, and another yard for the second 
offence. A third false start shall disqualify the runner. 
A false start is where any portion of the person touches 
the ground in front of the mark before the pistol report. 

X. Scorer. 

The scorer shall keep a complete list of all competitors, 
crediting each man with his performance in each event 
as reported by the judges, measurers, or timers. He shall 
place in the lower space the number of points made by 
contestants in each event as determined by the judges in 
marching, calisthenics, and apparatus work ; also, the 
number of points in athletic work, as shown by the scor- 
ing table. 

XI. Marshal. 

The marshal shall have full police charge, and see that 
the spectators are kept in the place assigned them. 

XII. Clerk of the Course. 

The clerk of the course shall furnish each contestant, 
in regular order, commencing with the tallest, a number 
by which he shall be known in that competition ; he shall 
also assign to him his division in the contest. 

XIII. Records. 

The maximum in each event in this contest shall be 
thirty points. Each contestant's total number of points 
in the elementary grade shall be divided by the decimal 
1.8, in the intermediate by 2.4, in the advanced by 3. 
This will reduce each grade to the percentage basis. 

XIV. Marching. 

The marching shall occupy not less than ten nor more 
than fifteen minutes, the judging being done by the 



91 

measurers and judges. Contestants shall drill in line, ac- 
cording to number. 

XV. Calisthenics. 

In the calisthenic drill the rules in section- 14 shall 
govern. 

XVI. Apparatus Work. 

The contest on each piece of apparatus shall consist of 
three exercises selected by the referee (except in the ad- 
vanced grade, when one exercise on each apparatus shall 
be selected by contestant) on the day of competition from 
a list of ten, said ten exercises to have been determined 
upon by District, State, Section, or Governing Committee, 
and forwarded to Associations competing, not less than 
four weeks before the contest. 

Exception. — In a local contest the referee shall select 
the exercises from any of that grade which have been 
taught during the season. 

XVII. Potato Race. 

Seventeen potatoes (or other light objects), and two 
boxes, four inches deep, twelve inches in diameter, set on 
stands two feet high, shall be furnished each contestant. 
The outer edges of these boxes shall be thirty-one feet 
apart. The runner shall start on the left side of the full 
potato box from a line parallel to its outer edge, with one 
potato in his hand. He shall run around both boxes each 
time, placing one potato in the other box, and finishing 
at the starting point on the opposite side of his own box. 
Grasping either stand in any way, failure to run around 
both boxes, or a failure to transfer all the potatoes singly 
into the other box, shall disqualify the runner. 

XVIII. Three Standing Broad Jumps. 

The feet of the competitor shall leave the ground only 
once in making an attempt for each of the three jumps. 



92 

and no stoppage between jumps shall be allowed. Each 
competitor shall have three trial jumps. He shall be 
credited with his best performance in those trials. The 
jumps shall be made from the board floor, and the dis- 
tance shall be measured from the "scratch line" to the 
nearest point that is touched by any part of the person. 

XIX. Pole Vaulting and High Jumping. 

The bar in the intermediate shall start not lower than 
five points and in the advanced not lower than ten points 
(see scoring table). The bar shall be raised in the high 
jump not less than two inches at each elevation, and in 
the pole vault not less than four inches. Contestants 
shall jump in regular order, as called by measurer. Con- 
testant may omit his trial at any height, but shall not be 
allowed to try that height should he fail on the next 
elevation. The jump shall be made over a bar flat on all 
sides, displacement of the bar counting as a " try." Each 
contestant shall be allowed not to exceed ten trials. 
Three failures at any height shall debar contestant from 
further trials in that event. A height having been 
attempted must be cleared before a greater height can be 
attempted. Contestants shall be credited with their best 
performance, according to the rules. Two balks shall 
count as a try. A balk is crossing a line six feet from 
and parallel with the standards. The run shall be lim- 
ited to thirty-one feet. 

XX. Diplomas, 

A total of 65 points (elementary work) shall entitle 
contestant to elementary certificate and the right to wear 
the emblem of that grade; a total of 70 points (inter- 
mediate work) to an intermediate certificate with its 
emblem; a total of 75 points (advanced work) shall entitle 
contestant to a diploma and emblem. For method of 
obtaining points, see rule 13. Contestants must present 
their certificates of lower grades before they can enter as 
contestants in higher ones.

CLEAN SPORT. 

George T. Hepbron. 

That young men are interested in athletics is apparent 
to even a casual observer. Indications of this abound. 
Visit the gymnasiums and athletic fields of our country, 
attend the bicycle meets, pause as you pass the news- 
paper bulletins and note the eagerness of the men wait- 
ing for the score of the next inning to be posted, observe 
the interest manifested and the money spent in preparing 
for a prize fight, consult the college men and note the 
crowds who pay large admission fees to witness a foot 
ball game, read the recently issued basket ball guide and 
see what a grip this comparatively new game has on both 
participants and spectators, then ask yourself is all sport 
as now managed elevating? Is it wholesome for our 
young men to indulge in ? If you have given the matter 
any thought you will answer, not all of it, and add, some 
is positively injurious. 

Shall the Association dispense with all forms of ath- 
letics because some men run for money, others engage in 
prize fighting, and yet others, sometimes our own mem- 
bers, evade the spirit of the rule and study how they may 
defeat even the letter ? No ! No ! 

Does the Association eschew all forms of entertain- 
ment because there are two kinds of entertainment, the 
good and bad ? If you are an Association man you will 
know that the good is retained and emphasized, while 
the impure is eliminated. Men are led to higher ideals 
in this department of our Association activity. What is 
done on this side of man's nature may be done on any 
other side, including athletics. Just as our gymnastic 
work has passed successfully through the professional 
and circus realm to the present system of bodybuilding, 
94 



95 

so the athletics of our Association may be put on a 
higher plane. 

To purify athletics the needs are that a high standard 
be set and men of good character be selected to repre- 
sent the Association. This may mean in a few instances 
a losing team, athletically speaking, but a victorious 
team morally speaking. The Young Men's Christian 
Association cannot afford to surrender principle for vic- 
tory, and where this is done the cause of pure athletics 
is given a set-back, the morals of young men are not 
advanced, public opinion is lowered and the Associa- 
tion's influence is lessened. The line is drawn in our 
Associations between the active and associate member- 
ship, and would it not be well to recognize the two 
classes in our athletically inclined membership, i. e., 
those who are ready to stand for pure things in athletics 
and those who have not felt that responsibility, selecting 
only the first and continuing to train the second toward 
that goal ? Only those men who are imbued with the 
high aim of the Association and filled with the gospel of 
"clean sport " should find a place on our important 
committees that have the shaping of the athletic policy 
in their power. 

To this end was the Athletic League formed, and to 
this end it is working. In the 105 Associations that are 
members, most of the largest and many of the smaller 
ones are included. The Young Men's Christian Associa- 
tion has an opporiunity to be a power in cleansing sport 
and creating a pure atmosphere in athletic circles. The 
Association's duty is not only one within its own ranks, 
but also to the young men in the whole community. 
This has been done at several Association points to the 
writer's knowledge and may be duplicated. 

For example, in one city the Association was the only 
athletic agency that took a firm stand for regulated 
sport, and at the beginning of the season matters looked 
as if the basket ball team would have no games in conse- 



96 

quence of this stand. But with this prospect in view 
they did not lose sight of the principle, but sent out their 
printing, stating that they were for the principles out- 
lined in the "Clean Sport Roll," and were willing to 
play any team that took the same stand. Some teams 
were willing to say that they were favorable to such a 
position, but would not take the final practical step in 
that direction and register their men. At the beginning 
of the season the Association team were laughed at, and 
the prediction was freely made that they would get no 
games. This was a disheartening outlook, to say the 
least, but the physical director was made of the right 
stuff, and by prayer and practice held the principle, and 
lived to see his team playing plenty of games under the 
" clean sport " banner in that same season. 

What was done by this director in basket ball was also 
done by another in athletics, he being able to swing the 
athletics in a whole city, which was a large one, too, for 
better ideals. What individuals have done in single 
cities is only an illustration of what was done in a State 
recently. The State Committee voted that they would 
hold an athletic meet the following summer in connection 
with their camp, and that it would be held under the 
sanction of the Athletic League, meaning that only Asso- 
ciations that were members of the league would com- 
pete. This was a stand for principle, for when that vote 
was taken only one Association in the State was in the 
league. The games as conducted were so clean that 
they brought forth commendatory remarks from the pub- 
lic platform by the teachers of the Bible Institute at the 
place where the games were held. It is Christian work. 
Yes, and will tend to open many a man's heart to better 
and higher ideals. 

Permit another practical illustration of how clean 
sport was upheld. In one. of our largest cities the Base 
Ball Committee got together to organize a team ; the old 
fallacy that it must be semi-professional was advanced, 



97 

as they bad an expensive field to maintain and needed 
the money that only such a team could command in gate 
rec^pts. The physical director took a stand for an am- 
ateur team or none ; in a word they had such a team and 
the receipts came in. The principle was right, even if 
the receipts had been small, and it is only just to say 
that the director had only the principle in mind when he 
took the stand. 

One thing is needed in this fight against impurities in 
athletics, and that is a stand for principle against a pol- 
icy, even though the odds are against us. 

The Young Men's Christian Associations are having an 
elevating influence on the athletics of our country, and 
the extent of such influence is only measured by the 
number of Associations co-operating with the league. 
Men are subscribing to such a stand wherever it is prop- 
erly presented to them. If our Association is a body of 
young men working for men, this offers a fertile field for 
any amount of effort. 



HAND BALL RULES. 

Approved by the Physical Directors' Cotiference, 1898. 

The Court — The service wall should be approxi- 
mately in the proportions of five (5) for height to four 
(4) for width. The side lines of court should run at 
right angles to service wall. The court should be 
approximately twice as long as the service wall is high, 
divided into two equal parts l)y a line running parallel 
with the service ^^ all. This line is the service line. 

The Ball — For the majority of Association courts the 
regular tenuis ball is best. 

Line Ball — A ball striking on the line is in the court. 

RULES. 

1. The game shall consist of twenty-one (2t) points, 
and may be played by two, three or four persons. 

2. The side serving alone scores. Each good service 
or each ball in play uureturned by the side receiving, 
counts one ])oiiit for the server. Failure to return a good 
ball in turn retires the server. 

3. The ball must be served from behind the service 
line, must first strike the service wall and then land in 
the outer court. 

4. If the ball, when served, strikes the server or his 
partner it retires the server. If it strikes an opponent 
before or after bouncing it becomes non-playable and 
counts a point. 

5. A "fault" consists of a ball not served (?t'rr the 
service line, or a ball s^ved over the back line. Two (2) 
consecutive faults shall retire the server. 

6. When a fault has been served the opponent has the 
privilege of returning it if he so desires. 

98 



99 

7. In a four-handed game the side first serving is 
allowed only one service at the commencement. The 
server's partner must stand outside of the court until the 
ball is served. 

8. After a server has been retired he shall be given 
sufficient time to get into position before play is resumed. 

9. All balls must be returned on the fly or first bounce 
from the floor. 

10. When the ball strikes the returner's partner it 
shall count against them. 

11. The use of the' foot is debarred, and only one hand 
may be used in striking the ball. Violation of this shall 
count against the side so doing. 

12. A "hinder " is (i) when the ball strikes an oppo- 
nent and is prevented or retarded from reaching the ser- 
vice wall ; or (2) when the proper return of the ball is 
prevented by proximity of an opponent or spectator ; or 
when the ball strikes any apparatus within the court 
line and (when traveling toward the service wall) such 
apparatus is not higher than the service wall ; or when 
the ball strikes anything on the face of the service w^all 
which causes it to be deflected from its true course. 

The causing of a hinder by any player (as in the first 
two sections of this rule), which appears to the referee 
to be intentional, shall count against such player. 

13. The officials shall be a referee and a scorer. The 
referee shall decide all questions pertaining to the serv- 
ing of the ball and its return, and shall be judge of hin- 
ders and fouls. His decisions on all questions shall be 
final. 

The scorer shall keep a correct record of the points 
made, and shall keep the contestants informed as to the 
progress of the game.

HOW TO ORDER GOODS THROUGH 
THE LEAGUE. 

After protracted effort, arrangements have just been 
completed by which gymnastic and athletic apparatus 
and clothing; etc., can be secured at very favorable rates 
by Associations in the League from the leading manu- 
facturers, as follows : 

1. State to the Secretary exactly what goods are de- 
sired, indicating any preference as to maker. In reply 
he will give tlie price. If this is satisfactory, send him 
the amount and he will order the goods at once. The 
discounts are offered on cash transactions only. They 
vary so much on different goods that it is impracticable 
to state their amount more definitely. 

2. All sales must be to Associations in the League, 
exclusively for their ozvn use or for their ozv?i members, 
and all orders must be signed or indorsed by the presi- 
dent, general secretary, or physical director of such an 
Association. 

3. Goods are guaranteed by the makers to be as rep- 
resented in their catalogues. If they should prove other- 
wise, inform the Secretary promptly and he will do his 
best to right the matter. 

This privilege will be chiefly useful to the medium- 
sized and smaller Associations, as these are often com- 
pelled to pay higher rates than the larger ones, because 
there is less competition for their trade. 

The Secretary will be glad to render any counsel or 
help in the matter that he can. 

Address correspondence on this subject to 

George T. Hepbron, Secretary, 

3 West 29th Street, New York.

Take the measurements according to the direction 
given in Manual for Physical jMeasiireincnts, published 
by the International Committee, 3 West Twenty-ninth 
Street, New York City. Price, 75 cents. 

Write these measurements in the left hand column, as 
has been done above. Make a small circle in each line 
where the measurement would come. Thus in the above 
the weight is 15 1.5 lbs. We see that at 75 per cent, is 
150, and at 80 per cent. 152.6. It is evident that 151. 5 
belongs in between ; accordingly it is so placed. Sim- 
ilarly taking height, which is 70. S, we find that it falls 
between 95 and 98 per cent. In this same way go through 
the whole list of measurements, making the proper circle 
for each. These circles should now be connected with a 
firm black line. This stands for the man. 

When the second measurement is taken, it may be 
put in the right hand column, and then the circles and 
line drawn either with another color or with a dotted 

line. 

107 



roS 

The data from which this chart was computed were 
the measurements of men between the ages of 25 and 35, 
who had taken systematic all-round gymnastic exercise 
for not less than two years. 

They were secured and elaborated in connection with 
the International Committee of Young Men's Christian 
Associations, and the International Association Training 
School. 

The large figures at the top of the chart indicate the 
percentage of men who have smaller measurements than 
those shown in the column below. Notice the number 
50 in the middle of the top line. Immediately beneath 
it is 139.5 ; looking along to the left we see this is 
weight. We know then that in 100 men 50 will weigh 
less than 139.5 lbs. Immediately below tiiis is 67.2. 
This is height, and we know that 50 out of 100 men are 
less than 67.2 inches in height. 

In the measiirements which have been plotted on this 
chart we see that the weight of the man falls between 
the 75 and 80 per cent, columns. We know then that 
out of 100 men about 77 will be lighter and 23 heavier 
than he. In height he is between 95 and 98 per cent. 
He is then taller than 96 per cent, of men. These fig- 
ures can be thus analyzed all the Avay down. 

The lines of large men will be mostly on the right 
hand side of the chart, those of small men on the left. 

Symmetrical men have straighter lines than non-sym- 
metrical, but the chart should not be taken as a standard 
of symmetry, for it is not. Its purposes are to show 
men how they stand with reference to other men, and to 
afford a graphic method of recording measurements and 
growth. 

In the measurements of the man shown above, chest 
contraction is 32.4, falling in the 15 per cent, column, 
while expanded his chest is 38.8, falling in the 70 per 
cent column. Thus he has an expansion of 6.4 inches, 



cog 

and this makes the greatest deviation that is shown in 
the chart at all. If he had been working for a straight 
line merely, he would have contracted only to 34.5 and 
expanded only to 37.8. Both of these woul^ have placed 
him in the 55 per cent, class, near which most of his 
measurements are to be found. Thus this deviatfon 
shows him to be better than most, for his chest expanded 
is large in proportion to his chest contracted, and this is 
desirable. 

We notice that the arm measurements fall in a rather 
straight line, and we judge that they are symmetrical. 

Coming now to the leg measurements we notice, that 
the thighs are both larger in proportion than the calves. 

The " dip " and " pull up " bear, of course, no relation 
to stature, and there is no reason why they should fall in 
a straight line with the other measures.

SUPPLEMENT. . 

AUDITION TO THE BY-LAWS RF.GARUING REGISTRATION, 

After lengthy and careful discussion at the Physical 
Directors' Conferences at Chicago and Springfield, it 
was suggested that : 

On and after Jaiitiary I, iSgS, in games held nnder the 
sanction of the Association Athletic League, all coinpeti- 
tors in track and field sports and in basket pall garbles 
from Associations in the League shall be required to reg- 
ister, as outlined on page 24 of the LLandbook. 



DISCONTINUANCE OF THE TEN CENT REG- 
ISTRATION FEE. 
The Governing Committee voted, Octoljer g, 1S97, to 
receive records made at games without a fee. See by- 
laws, section 13 (4). This decision does not affect the 
twenty-five cent fee for the registration of athletes. 



BASKET BALL LEAGUES. 
The following resolutions, passed by the Physical 
Directors' Conferences at Chicago and Springfield, June, 
1S97, are heartily approved by the Governing Committee : 

CHICAGO RESOLUTION. 

The previous conferences have emphasized the desir- 
al)ility of leagues within a single Association and of the 
use of friendly games between Associations, but the un- 
flesirability of competition and championship leagues 
between Associations. 

In this we heartily concur, and believe that, except in 
unusual circumstances, it is wiser to have no champion- 
ship leagues between Associations. In support of this 
our attention has been drawn to the following facts • 
III 



(i) We find tliat the intense competition often develops 
antagonism between Associations, which is entirely out 
of accord with their aim. (2) We find that such leagues 
call attention away from the sport and toward the mere 
winning. 

We believe that friendly games between Associations 
-are useful under the following conditions: (i) That 
registration be a requisite for eligibility on the team. 
(2) That not more than one such game be played each 
week. (3) That the officials l)e chosen from other 
organizations than'those playing. (4) That sport rather 
than victory be put in the first place, and that Christian 
courtesy be made to characterize officials, players, and 
audiences. We counsel the Associations that cannot 
secure this to give up public games. 

We believe that leagues within an Association are use- 
ful when : (i) They are made secondary to the class 
work, only class men playing. (2) Play and practice are 
absolutely restricted to definite and limited periods. 

SPRINGFIELD RESOLUTION. 

We believe that basket ball is a most excellent game : 
(i) as a recreative exercise, (2) as a constitutional exer- 
cise, (3) as educating the mind to thoroughly and quickly 
control the body. But the very nature of the game 
makes it one Avhich can be the means of much harm. It 
has been clearly shown that the game cannot be left to 
take care of itself, but that it must be most carefully 
watched and managed if real benefit is to be derived 
from it as an exercise. The committee begs leave to 
offer the following suggestions : 

1. The Game and Teams. It would seem best not to 
encourage the formation of outside leagues. The intense 
spirit of rivalry engendered, with the frequent accom- 
panying desire to win at all hazards, should be avoided. 

2. On the other hand, it would be wise to encourage 
intra-Association or alass leagues, as by this means zest 



113 

is given to the game, and interest is aroused, while ex- 
citement and hostile rivalry are greatly minimized on 
account of the friendly relation of the players. 

3. Representative teams may often be managed with 
advantage to the M^ork, but emphasis should not be 
placed upon the winning of games and star playing. The 
result aimed at should be an increase of friendly and 
social intercourse. 

4. Every member of a team should be a regular mem- 
ber of a gymnasium class. 

5. Refuse to meet teams who do not play according 
to the official rules and the spirit of the game. 

6. Make special effort to secure thoroughly compe- 
tent officials. 

7. The physical director should keep in close touch 
with the game, but should encourage the members to do 
the work themselves by means of a committee.
